AB 2628, Assemblymember Pavley's bill to allow usage of the HOV
lanes by Hybrids that are SULEV or AT-PZEV and get at least 45 MPG
(rated), again passed the California Assembly today, 8/26 after a vote to accept the amendments added in the Senate which had passed it 8/24.

Gov. Schwartzenegger is expected to sign the Bill into law in early
September.

Federal legislation is required to allow it to go into affect
January 1. Watch for further word on efforts to get this done!

So the 45mpg rated limit still stands?
Those letters must of helped!!!

So the poor Escape owners won't qualify. Oh well, nice to know for the next time I pass through the LA area on my way to Arizona.

So that's why Bill Ford had his shorts in a bunch. Maybe he will get the Hybrid Focus out the door. Hope he figures out what Toyota knows the best way to do a hybrid is to do it all your self, and not depend on others to make hybrid parts for you.

Yeah, I think your right.
